NSIDC NATIONAL SNOW AND ICE DATA CENTER

It's way too hot! Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is SUMMER and there are some overwhelming heat waves happening right now... But in the SOUTHERN hemisphere, and the SOUTHERN ocean, the ANTARCTIC it is winter, dark, and colder than ever. Here is a very scientific site that looks at snow and ice and weather...

"Arctic SEA ICE reflects sunlight, keeping the polar regions cool and moderating global climate. According to scientific measurements, Arctic sea ice has declined dramatically over at least the past thirty years, with the most extreme decline seen in the summer melt season."

The thought keeps me cool! Siren
